1. Typographical Similarities & Organizational Role Inconsistencies
In 2021 and 2022, the author interacted with two separate agencies operated by Prime Marriage Inc. (Felice, a service for licensed physicians, and Avenue Tokyo). During these interactions, several similarities were observed in the written communications received from different coordinators. The following exhibits summarize these observations and the supporting materials.
Exhibit A: Shared Language Patterns in Email Correspondence
- Observed Pattern: Emails from coordinator Ms. Junko Yamamoto (Felice) and coordinator Ms. Aki Kamagata (Avenue Tokyo) contained identical non‑standard grammatical structures and the same unusual phrasing, including the expression 「お見合いに成立しています」, which is atypical in standard Japanese usage.
- Analytical Note: The recurrence of identical phrasing across communications from different branches suggests the use of shared templates or centrally generated text. The images below reproduce the relevant email excerpts for comparison.
Exhibit B: Inconsistencies in Stated Organizational Roles
- Sequence of Events: After the author requested clarification regarding the similarities in communication patterns, a representative identifying herself as “Keiko Satoh” responded as a supervisory contact.
- Stated Titles: In separate emails, this individual used two different titles: “Manager, Service Administration Division” and “Director, Kanto Regional Administration Headquarters”.
- Verification Outcome: A review of Prime Marriage Inc.’s publicly available corporate information did not show departments matching these titles. Additionally, the emails attributed to “Keiko Satoh” contained the same unusual character‑conversion patterns observed in communications from Ms. Kamagata, including the non‑standard rendering 「先伸ばし」 instead of 「先延ばし」. The images below reproduce the relevant excerpts for reference.
2. Profile Data Changes & Image Processing Irregularities
In April 2024, the author registered with Musbell (Tsukuba Branch), a partner agency within the IBJ network. During a subsequent review of the deployed profile, several discrepancies were identified in the recorded credentials and uploaded imagery. The following exhibits summarize these observations.
A. Changes to Professional Credential Categories
The author submitted verified documentation indicating status as a licensed medical doctor with specialist qualifications. However, the IBJ profile displayed a different occupational category after onboarding.
- Submitted Documentation: Medical Doctor / Internal Medicine Specialist
- Displayed Category: “Institutional Clerk (団体職員)”
This discrepancy affected how the profile appeared within the network and influenced the matching criteria applied by the system.
B. Irregularities in Profile Photograph Processing
The profile photograph was taken at a designated contract studio as part of the registration process. The version displayed on the network showed visual characteristics that differed from the original studio image, including changes in facial contours and overall tone. These differences suggested that the image had undergone additional processing prior to deployment.
C. Email Delivery Issues During Inquiry Attempts
After noticing the discrepancies, the author attempted to contact the agency to request clarification. Several inquiry emails resulted in delivery failures, while other recipients continued to receive messages normally. The author later visited the Tsukuba Branch in person on June 9, 2024. During this meeting, branch representatives (Sekozawa, Ouwada, and Takasu) issued a refund and described the credential and image inconsistencies as clerical errors.
3. Email Text Pattern Comparisons
The images below reproduce excerpts from email communications received from different agency coordinators. These materials are provided to allow independent reviewers to compare recurring phrasing and text‑conversion patterns noted in Section 1.
Summary of Observed Patterns
Across the platforms reviewed, several recurring features were documented:
(1) similar typographical and phrasing patterns appearing in emails from different agency
branches,
(2) inconsistencies in stated organizational roles, and
(3) discrepancies in how professional credentials and profile images were displayed within the
network.
Taken together, these observations indicate that multiple account‑level behaviors and
communication patterns shared common characteristics.
This section summarizes the documented findings; the supporting materials are provided above for
independent examination.
